Chapter 923 - 923
Chapter 923: News Spreads Really Fast
At this moment, seeing Academy Head Mei suddenly visiting, the other witches in the laboratory also had strange expressions.
This was the first time they saw Mei Linde so flustered.
And as soon as she opened her mouth, she said something they didn't understand.
What does "Little Han, you are still here" mean?
Hasn't Little Han always been here?
If Little Han wasn't here, how could they sponge off this Primal Dream State Laboratory?
You know, ever since Little Han publicly researched the project related to the Nightmare Purification Method, many witch teams planned to conduct experiments in this laboratory.
After all, there was a Constant Dream Cultivation Room here.
If they didn't experiment here, Dream-state Soul-substance wouldn't unfold easily.
In other places, if they really used Dream State overlapping alchemical items to maintain the experimental environment... it would be better to come directly to the Primal Dream State Laboratory and borrow the Constant Dream Cultivation Room for experiments.
Little Han's laboratory was different from other laboratories.
Little Han didn't have a large number of research teams; she was just one Lesser Witch.
Other various experimental partitions were basically in an idle state, or reserved laboratories for use.
Wanting to carry out temporary experiments and cooperation here was actually very simple, just tell Little Han and apply for temporary permission.
So there were quite a few witches in the Primal Dream State Laboratory now.
Most were conducting preliminary preparations for experiments, transportation and docking of equipment, etc., so they were quite busy.
"Big Sis Mei, looking for me?"
"Yes..."
Academy Head Mei immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing I was still here, but still walked straight towards me, staring at me with a pair of eyes as if checking if I was a clone.
Only after confirming I wasn't a clone did she speak: "There are too many witches here, let's go to a more secretive place to talk."
"Mm, okay."
I nodded hurriedly and took Academy Head Mei to the cultivation room.
After a handover of purification method experiments, this place seemed somewhat empty.
Only several groups of experiments related to the Gestation Purification Method remained for laboratory-level preparation of Dream-state Soul-substance.
Mainly reserved for laboratory material research before the purification method achieved breakthrough results.
That is, ensuring other purification method experiments can proceed normally through this way.
After all, a prepared Dream-state Soul-substance had a very important guiding role and control experiment effect on experiments, and could also facilitate research on Dream-state Soul-substance reverse engineering.
Watching Academy Head Mei and Little Han shut them outside the door just like this, other witches who hadn't officially started doing proper business had already quietly followed up wanting to hear gossip.
Even witches currently experimenting temporarily put down the work in their hands.
After all... this was gossip!
If the topic of the Academy Head and the others was confidential, they naturally wouldn't hear the content due to Soundproof Spells.
Moreover, a Transcendent could definitely perceive if there were eavesdroppers outside the door.
If there were no Soundproof Spells or similar, it was equivalent to tacitly allowing them to understand these things.
And inside the cultivation room at this moment.
"Big Sis Mei, is there something you need me for?"
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"
Mei Linde looked at me.
After calming her emotions, she also quickly reflected, "News about you... already arriving in the game world has spread, and caused a huge sensation."
"Hah?"
Although I had guesses long ago, how long had it been since my clone left the Main World?
About less than a day.
What consumed the most time was actually the operation of that city.
Regarding beating the Vanguard Team, beating the Fallen Elf, and the first formal communication with the Truth Protection Association afterwards, these were all just small matters, not wasting too much time.
"I think you are not innocent at all. Although I don't have the Heart Sense of you body cultivators, Little Han, you don't seem like someone who would lie."
"Uh... isn't my main body still in the Main World? I haven't left the Primal Dream State Laboratory, nor have I left the Main World."
I said honestly.
"Then who is the Calamity Witch descended into the game world?"
Mei Linde's words directly silenced me.
This was a direct inquiry without any foreshadowing.
"Uh... clone."
I continued to speak honestly, "Mainly because the rune of that Reverse Summoning Spell was opened by people of that world themselves... I kept Big Sis Mei's teachings in mind and wouldn't risk letting my main body go over, but the opportunity was really rare, so... I threw a clone over."
My words directly made the Academy Head laugh, not sure if she was laughed out of anger or what.
"You caused trouble as soon as you went over. Now I'm afraid people from other Transcendent Academies already know that you, this genius Lesser Witch, descended into that world. Before long, they will take action. By then, what you have to face is the joint encirclement and assassination of all local forces and forces from outside the world in that world..."
"But what went over was just a clone with little relation to me."
I tried hard to defend myself.
Although I knew very well that Academy Head Mei also knew this, the reason she spoke so seriously was mainly because this matter exceeded her expectations.
Just as I said, after Mei Linde learned that it wasn't my main body going over, this matter basically had an explanation.
But a criticism and education session seemed essential to her.
And at this moment, the witches listening to gossip outside the door were also discussing.
"Wow... Little Han went to that game world? When did it happen?"
"Isn't Little Han still here?"
"Didn't you hear clearly? What went was just Little Han's clone. Wow... Academy Head Mei scolds so fiercely, record it."
"No, sister, what are you recording this for?"
"Listen to Big Sis Mei scolding me in bed at night."
"Hah? What strange XP is this? You substitute yourself for Little Han?"
"Can't I? Little Han is simply a protagonist template, okay? If I were Little Han, I would have already killed in all directions in the game world and reorganized the order of civilization."
"Don't understand, but respect..."
As the discussion outside the door gradually became somewhat uncontrollable, Mei Linde inside the cultivation room also ran out of words for lecturing.
After all, Little Han indeed didn't do anything irresponsible to herself.
Instead, the voices of those witches listening to gossip outside had already affected her.
Although the laboratory walls were soundproof, that was with rune augmentation.
Plus Transcendent Witches had very good hearing, so...
Bang—
The door of the cultivation room was suddenly opened.
"Gossip sounds fun, right! Not doing a bit of proper business, chatting here so loud I can hear inside?"
"Oh Run run run."
Accompanying Mei Linde's voice and figure appearing here, the group of witches instantly scattered like birds and beasts.
Hard to imagine such a scene actually happening in a formal laboratory.
But thinking these guys were all witches, it seemed many things instantly became reasonable.
After some education, Mei Linde also knew very well that the status quo couldn't be changed.
Since gone, then gone.
But Academy Head Mei also agreed on many things with me, such as in non-necessary situations, the main body cannot go over.
Also, for example, cannot set off a Dream State Calamity there, and reveal techniques and abilities related to the Primal Dream State beyond cognition.
I understood this point too, naturally didn't need Academy Head Mei to emphasize again.
The rest were some small matters and precautions.
Academy Head Mei even told me some small tricks.
Since people from other Transcendent Academies already knew the basic news, mistakenly thinking Little Han had already descended into the game world without any warning.
Then this information asymmetry indeed needed to be utilized well.
As for specific operations, Academy Head Mei didn't elaborate.
After all, she couldn't command that clone.
The situation in the game world could only be described as very complex, so Mei Linde could only roughly explain the situation, letting me adapt to changes myself.
After all, the ability to cause trouble...
Mei Linde had full confidence in me.
Not afraid I wouldn't cause trouble, just afraid I would cause too big trouble.
After persuading me to restrain a bit, Mei Linde planned to go back.
But when about to leave, thinking of something, she suddenly turned around.
"Little Han, do you have nothing to do for a while later?"
Academy Head Mei asked.
"Ah? Big Sis Mei, how can you say that? I have so many things to do!"
Although indeed much more relaxed compared to before, it didn't mean having extra time to do other things.
Don't look at me telling some fairy tales or made-up small stories to Fool's Dreams and the others, but that's not doing nothing.
I am constantly paying attention to the life evolution process of the Fool's Dream, just multi-thread operation, reserving a thread to tell some small stories to Fool's Dreams to relieve their boredom.
Moreover, I am also constantly strengthening my soul level with the Life Evolution technique, used to constantly adapt to the true Floating World level Spirit Vision.
"Then are you free?"
Academy Head Mei asked straightly as if not hearing what I just said.
After all, Mei Linde knew very well about the Nightmare Purification Method.
With the phased end of the Dream State Domain experiment, plus the "outsourcing" of the purification method, Little Han suddenly freed up space for two projects.
Unless Little Han found something to do for herself again, it would definitely be more relaxed than before...
"Uh... ah?"
I looked at Academy Head Mei in confusion, somewhat disbelieving.
And at this moment, Mei Linde was also analyzing carefully.
Then she suddenly reacted to a problem!
When did she feel that Little Han's current situation belonged to being free?
Before, she felt Little Han worked especially hard, feeling like squeezing every bit of time in life dry... She even persuaded Little Han to slow down the pace.
Back then she thought this might be a unique sequela of short-lived life, but she found that until now, this condition of Little Han hadn't improved...
However... the words were already at her mouth...
"Little Han, see if you have time to work on the Destiny Gazing Technique? If no time... I won't force it."
When Mei Linde said this sentence, she thought of how she vowed before to ask when Little Han came to find her again, but no one expected plans couldn't keep up with changes; instead, she came over personally.
Although she mentioned this just in passing.
"Hah?"
I looked at Academy Head Mei in confusion and somewhat surprised.
"Uh... from the perspective of time planning, I should have a little bit of time, but I can't leave the Primal Dream State Laboratory either?"
"We can move that Destiny Gazing Technique instrument over. Don't worry, won't occupy too much of your time, Little Han. Just key structures coordinating with the new style Destiny Gazing Technique need your... Spirit Vision, Little Han."
"Oh Understood!"
Told like this, I quickly knew what Academy Head Mei meant.
Meaning they re-architected the structure of this spell based on my original Destiny Gazing Technique.
But lacking Floating World level Spirit Vision observation as information verification, they needed me very much.
Plus I was recently adapting to the Spirit Vision I once ignored.
It could be said that the next brand-new version of Destiny Gazing Technique would have better effects!
"Then... can this technique be shared with me after perfection!"
I asked somewhat expectantly.
After all, my Destiny Gazing Technique was initially just derived from techniques related to Earth Vein Appraisal Spell to Destiny observation, thus birthing the Destiny Gazing Technique.
But what really developed it was still the Witch Academy.
From initially observing script trends, to the guide for World Repair Technique, finally to the observation and locking of the Umbilicus Mundi.
It could be said the derivation and development of the Destiny Gazing Technique were all brought up by Transcendent Witches.
"Definitely, how could we not share? What kind of witches do you think we are?"
"Ah No, I just wanted to confirm! I will make some time to help. As for moving the Destiny Gazing Technique instrument and so on, have to trouble the Academy Head."
"What trouble is there in this? Speaking of hardship, actually it's hard on you. If there's anything you want, tell me directly."
For a moment, Mei Linde also became generous.
After all, as the Academy Head, her positioning of Little Han in the academy had always been very vague.
Really speaking of what position Little Han held, just a teaching assistant, and a student teaching assistant at that.
But because of the Honorary Lesser Witch contract, Little Han was regarded as having the same identity as a Transcendent Witch.
So theoretically speaking, Little Han was qualified to become a formal mentor in the academy, even a specially invited academic scholar.
There were many such witches in the academy; most wouldn't show their faces, nor waste time teaching.
They either had their own projects or their own research items.
"Little Han, interested in becoming a formal mentor of the academy?"
So Mei Linde asked strangely.
"Ah? Uh... no no no! I think becoming a teaching assistant is still quite free."
After being surprised for a moment, I immediately waved my hand and refused.
Letting me become a mentor to teach people?
Better forget it.
At least now I don't want to do this, wasting my time.
"Alright..."
Mei Linde was somewhat helpless.
Teaching assistant... free?
Currently, Little Han's freedom and following her heart were because she, the Academy Head, opened the door of convenience.
If teaching assistants were really free, look at other student teaching assistants in the academy.
Most such teaching assistants were no different from students in the eyes of witches.
But Little Han was special.
Perhaps what was heard might be fake, but what was witnessed with one's own eyes was definitely true.
